Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Developing Methods to Understand Elk Movements and Abundance on Winter Range" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00782) is a discretionary natural-resources cooperative agreement intended to support work that improves how elk movement patterns and population abundance are measured on winter range. The opportunity is tied to cooperative research and training priorities connected to the Resources of the National Park System, and it is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a framework the NPS uses to partner with academic and other research institutions.
This posting is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, conducted in accordance with the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency already identified the recipient and is publishing the notice to document the intended award rather than to invite proposals from the public. The eligibility section reinforces this point by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to Colorado State University.
Funding details show an estimated total funding amount of $69,541, with an expected number of awards listed as one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes CFDA number 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using the posting to define a competitive range and instead relies on the task agreement budget for the actual award amount.
Key dates associated with the notice indicate it was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2014, and an archive date of July 6, 2014. Because this was a notice of intent for a pre-identified partner rather than an open competition, the short posting window mainly serves administrative transparency purposes rather than functioning as a meaningful application period.
For additional information or to obtain the full announcement if there are access issues, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
